1-The incident that video game day is named for: the defeating of both Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Adventures of Bayou Billy for the first time ever, on the original NES, October 29th, 1990. No cheats, just pure gaming.
2-Gold medal on the Battle of Endor, Rogue Leader, Gamecube.
3-Completing all the Very Hard chapters of F-Zero GX: Story Mode.
4-Beating Blazing Lazers for the Turbo Grafx 16, no cheats.
5-First time beating Street Fighter 2 in the arcade, with my Dad watching. Playing as Blanka in Wells, Maine. Not a difficult accomplishment now we have the home games to practice, but it was my first arcade game I "beat". (Well, except for those you feed hundreds of quarters into IE Final Fight, The Simpsons, TMNT, X-Men, Terminator 2, etc.)
Notice I didn't mention the beating of such NES classics as Battletoads, Ghosts N' Goblins, Ninja Gaiden, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Castlevania, etc. All are great games and tough too, but I was able to handle them without too much frustration. Truth be said, the Battle of Endor gold might have been the hardest thing to get, though chapter 5 in F-Zero GX ( I think that's it, the "Save Jody" chapter)is a huge pain.
I've also done some crazy things like the knife only run in Resident Evil and no-power up runs through Contra. Heck, why not post your greatest gaming moments in honor of this fine week!?
